A favorite fall/winter dessert at our farmhouse is la rocciata - a rustic apple roll stuffed with pine nuts, walnuts, cinnamon and golden raisins. Don't me mislead - the translation (the rock) has little to do with the consistency of the dough (as it is actually very light and flaky) but more to do with the word for 'round' in dialect. It is very similar to a strudel (and may even originate from it)-but better! To really enjoy this spicy flaky treat buy a bottle of vin santo (wine of the saints or holy wine) and dunk your pieces in this rich woody-smokey dessert wine.
